I-5 Construction Weekday 1, dreamy … Weekday 2, almost a rerun … but tonight, WSDOT sounds the alarm that Weekday 3 could be Nightmare On Spokane Street (and 1st, and Marginal, and 4th, and so on), noting chidingly that afternoon traffic volume today was up 10% in some spots from yesterday. So, we’ll be up early again Wednesday to commuteblog at least one more time. Meanwhile, not all increases are bad news … finally found anecdotal quantification of what we thought we were seeing, more bicyclists. (Photo below shows one @ 35th/Avalon this am.)

On a similar note, it also a viable option to walk from West Seattle to downtown on a day like this. It’s not the most beautiful walk and women should probably be in pairs, but I’ve walked the 5.5 miles from my home to downtown in around and hour and a half. Or alternatively, start walking, and then get to 1st, 4th, or the Busway and hop on a bus from there.
